Manchester United brilliantly beat West Ham 3-0 on Sunday in the Premier League, with a double from Alejandro Garnacho which capsized Old Trafford. The supporters were able to sing together the song once dedicated to a certain Cristiano Ronaldo…
Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo, respectively 21, 19 and 18 years old, celebrating a goal while sitting on a billboard in a delirious Old Trafford, this is the beautiful image of Manchester United’s 3-0 victory against West Ham, Sunday for the 23rd day of the Premier League. After Mainoo’s winning goal against Wolverhampton on Thursday, it was Hojlund and Garnacho who made the Red Devils win.
In the first period, the Danish center forward made a nice full-axis sequence to beat Alphonse Areola (23rd). His fifth goal in his last six matches! It was in the second half that the Garnacho show took place, with two well-placed strikes to put Man United away (49th and 84th). The Old Trafford crowd was able to cover the song in tribute to Ronaldo to celebrate the Argentina international who arrived at the age of 16 from Atlético.
Varane comes off the bench
The Mancuniens easily held their own against the Hammers, Lisandro Martinez, injured in a knee, giving way to Raphaël Varane for the last 20 minutes alongside Harry Maguire. Casemiro, after a few training matches, is back at an excellent level and his talent could be decisive during the rest of the season in the league.
Erik ten Hag’s team took advantage of this second victory in a row to take sixth place in the standings at West Ham. United are still eight points behind 4th place Aston Villa, who are next weekend’s opponents in Birmingham!
